What is Creative Energy Work?
Artists are mediators to mental and spiritual worlds. With their works they make the invisible visible and find an aesthetic form for the spirit. By using intuition, imagination and intellect, artists connect mind and matter and create works which offer ways to interprete the world, to find meaning in life and stimulate viewers to question themselves.
The roots of art are to be found in religious cult. Shamanism, prophecy, priesthood, healing and magic played a role in the fabrication of art works that also had an important function in early societies helping humans to connect with higher levels of consciousness. By creating a work the artist sets up a framework of energies with reciprocal effects between the artist, the viewer and the art work.
As an artist I look for art’s ancient roots including sources of wisdom and spiritual capacities in order to adapt its potentials to contemporary use. With appropriate instruction and exercise those capacities may be recalled, trained and sucessfully integrated in everyday life. As soon as the creative potential that every human is naturally equipped with gets consciously reactivated, it profoundly changes the individual’s thinking and acting.
Invisible yet effective energies are radiated by works of art as well as other objects, by architecture or moving pictures. They have a pleasant and stimulating effect if they support the viewer’s own energy flow and thus increase the joy of living. The Art Studio for Creative Energy Work focusses on ways to perceive and direct such energies and to make their specific qualities work for a better environment to live and work in. As we live in an intellect-oriented world it is particularly worth while to develop a clear perception in tune with the compassionate heart in order to establish resilient connections to our inmost source of powerful creativity.
The heart is able to »look« behind the surface of so-called reality. Thus we are able to get a broader picture of our position in the world – a base for better orientation and better decision making. New ways out of a personal crisis may open up, and worthy aims in life become apparent. In a challengingly complex world we can find well-being again and live a fulfilled life. This experience strengthens the confidence in being embedded in a universe connected by love.
When this feeling of connectedness starts growing, the soul gets a clearer presence and is ready to surrender to the vibrant Here and Now. The state of simply being in every moment generates a unifying dynamism enabling to overcome separation, illusion and polarity. Ultimately this leads to profound understanding and inner healing. In this context the transforming effect of fire plays an important role. It is revered as a divine power for cleansing, nurturing and renewal in most cultures and religions and is associated with the creating power of the loving heart.
Using spiritual potentials as fine art material requires an update for the modern context. By understanding in which ways such energies work and by sensing the different qualities of their impact, it also becomes clear that whoever creates artefacts is responsible for the energetic vibrations activated in the process of making.
Creative Energy Work can be booked as an art service. There are different aesthetic formats custom-tailored for groups or single participants, such as rituals, meditation practice, as well as theme- and site-specific actions, exercises and designs helping to strenghten original creative power, to reanimate energy structures and to find new approaches to problem solving.
Individual suggestions for different forms of Artistic Energy Work will be given on demand.
